I have decent traps but generally don't go very heavy. For instance 80-100lb dumbells and 225 for bar shrugs. I do both but prefer dumbells. I have decent traps but generally don’t go very heavy.

I mainly do mine with the dumbbells, but have been finding myself using a barbell as well. Not like i want the biggest traps or anything, but this is great information to use!

It makes it easier to load heavier weight, perhaps. However, in order to focus on the Trapezius I (upper), dumbbells will be most effective, because the dumbell can be place next to the body. This is necessary in order to allow the Trap to perform proper line of pull through scapular elevation and upward rotation. Using a bar is more effective for a portion of Trap slighty lower on the back. I recommend using both. Mix it up with supersets or rotate each exercise in and out each week. Tell me what you think.
